  1. Maybe they want to break Ali Landry and Mario Lopez's record for shortest legit marriage (Britney's doesn't count).
  2. Umm, that was in 1968. Keri Strug winning the gold medal for the Women's Gymnastics team, and Greg Louganias hitting his head, and than winning the gold medal will make the list for olympic moments. Oh, and the Dream Team will make the list has well.
  3. The list will be extremly slanted towards the East coast. Just like everything ESPN does.

    Belmont Stakes

    It's the only race of it's length each year. Another one existed, but no one showed up. It also should remind people, of how utterly amazing Secretariat's 31 length victory in 1973 was. The race itself. Smarty took the lead too soon. The trainer said he was worried. Also Birdstone was helped missing the Preakness. In such a demanding race, all the time off helps.
  5. How does 40 time and the number of reps equate to success on the field? The great Mike Mamula was a workout freak, and he went down as one of the drafts greatest flops.
  6. I'm a fan. It's still brings a different feel when interleague play occurs, and it's still unique seeing your team host a NL team, or visit an NL team.

    Sad News

    It's for this year only.
  8. The Vietnam War went a long way in weakning the economy and military strength of the Soviet Union who where suppling the North Vietnam Army.
  9. Howard Finkle and Jimmy Hart both deserve to be inducted.
  10. The biggest difference in the NBA is the shots per game taken by teams. In the 80's teams frequently had over 100 shots, today it's closer to 75 shots.

    Belmont Stakes

    Hoping I'm wrong I think Rock Hard Ten will win. He's got the size, and endurance for the Belmont.Hank Goldberg also said he's run great this entire week. Also at the Preakness, he threw a fit going in to the starting gate, and still finished second.
  12. Does it matter Hawkins has said he doesn't want to close. Farnsworth was always supposed to be the closer of the future. Give him a shot at the job.
  13. Vikings easily. A case could be made the Packers are 2nd in interest.
  14. Maybe Jake doesn't like Jericho's strong born again beliefs.
  15. Notice the Hulk always gets shot in the shoulder.
  16. 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey 2. A Clockwork Orange 17. Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood 21. Fast Times at Ridgemont High 22. Fight Club 36. Leon 40. Menace II Society 42. Monster 52. Se7en 56. To Kill a Mockingbird 62. The Americanization of Emily 65. The Manchurian Candidate
  17. You seriously think that NO ONE has ever thrown a vicious elbow in a streetball game? Keep in mind, a lot of these guys play for hours every day, especially during the summer. For that, they probably take MORE elbows in three months than NBA players do in an entire season. Also, NBA players get easier foul calls. You have to kill someone in streetball to get a foul. Of course there's elbows and agressive play. The difference is street ball doesn't have players the size of a Shaq, or Ben Wallace.
  18. Lakers could of swept the Wolves if Shaq felt like it. Every time it mattered in the series, the Lakers stepped it up. Oh, and 6 games doesn't mean a close series. When it's the Lakers and Shaq you have to take in to affect the interest in the game.
  19. Official word of the A's season going down the shitter will come later today. Edit: Chavez says he's out at least three weeks. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb...s_mlb&fext=.jsp Wrist injuries usually keep someone out longer than expected, and when they come back they aren't the same player. It's also another All-Star caliber or marquee player who's been injured for a significant amotnt of time.
  20. In that case make it 6.
  21. Good News young Mauer could be activated has early as Wednesday. He's only 21, and has had 4 career major league AB, and yet his return could seriously change things around for the team.
  22. Lakers in 5. The Pistons don't have the scoring too win 4 games, and it seems like the Lakers want to finish the the postseason undefeated at home. So they'll take two straight in LA, go back to Detroit split, and finish the series off in Game 5.
  23. The street ballers don't know how to hide their blatant traveling calls. They've also never been on the receiving end of a Ben Wallace elbow or run face first into a brick wall named Shaq. I was the championship goalie in my 10th grade gym class for soccer, where do I sign up for Manchester United?
  24. My biggest problem with the Wolves is Flip Saunders. A good regular season coach, who looks lost way too often in the postseason.
  25. What does that mean exactly? Of course Williams is ready for the NFL. However, he has flaws in his game. His overall speed isn't great, and neither is his ability to pull away from defenders.
